On the Beat (1962)
10/10
Just brilliant!

Wisdom at his best, struggling to get into the police force proves his worth as a invaluable decoy to capture a ring of crooks. I am not sure why Wisdom often got a lot negative critical reviews, after speaking to so many people that loved his films it become apparent that he was indeed a true British treasure! (Even adored By our current monarch, HM Queen Elizabeth. Incredibly popular in the 50's to the early 60's when comedy-slapstick started to fade and the likes of Wisdom and Jerry Lewis style' antics was in decline. Still, this little gem of film came out close to his final run of 1960's films and it's without a doubt if not the best one of them, outrageously funny with great supporting cast; this is one film I can and have watched time and time again. Blu-ray version required! Come on ITV, release it on a format worthy of its class.
